Expertise for Modernizing Government Technology

Government Agencies

Government agencies must overcome longstanding challenges around culture, access to technical talent and legacy infrastructure and contracts, making a cloud-first digital transformation difficult.

Solve Your Biggest IT Challenges

Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure

Americans are demanding improved customer experiences, mobility, personalization and consistency from government organizations through citizen-centric services. But they’re also demanding increased cybersecurity and responsibility of their personal information.

We implement and administer security controls based on NIST SP 800-53 and 800-171 to meet FISMA, FedRAMP and DFARS guidelines, and specialize in deploying high-security and high-performance solutions. Our platform is monitored 24x7x365 and managed from our government headquarters located near Washington, DC by U.S. personnel.

IT Modernization and Data Center Optimization

Government CIOs report that their traditional data centers and legacy applications are holding them back from implementing technology-enabled innovation. They’re also struggling with legacy cultures and contracts and limited access to talent.

To combat these challenges, they’re turning to the cloud. However, commercial cloud services largely provide only do-it-yourself building blocks, with no easy path for legacy applications and no implicit reduction in cost. This is where traditional time-and-materials and FTE contracts fail, as they are unable to provide the scale of expertise, speed of execution and agility required to be successful in a multi-cloud world.

Instead, let Rackspace take on much of that transformative role and ongoing operational burden for you. Using our consumption-based model, you can improve your operations and service delivery strategy higher up the stack — building truly modern, citizen-facing digital services, improving cybersecurity, investing in improved data analytics and generating real cost efficiencies.

Put Your Resources to Better Use

With so many options and countless requirements, you need to ensure that your infrastructure is not only compliant, but also competitive. Our consumption-based pricing model means you can put resources previously allocated to achieving certifications to better use.

Benefit from our pre-built SSP and standardized programmatic toolset, which we can customize to meet compliance standards specific to your organization.

By serving as your single provider for both migration and steady-state management, we enable you to mitigate the complexity and risk of migration while also optimizing IT spend and accelerating your adoption of cloud services with minimal downtime.

Federal Contract Vehicles

Our government solutions are available to US government entities through a variety of contract vehicles, including, but not limited to:

We are a web-scale Managed Service Provider (MSP), delivering 24x7x365 hybrid-cloud management, operational support and security services as a packaged, on-demand, audited and pay-as-you-go service.
